in order to fix an error that has happened on a number of systems when
dist-upgrading from jessie to stretch, I need to make a small change to
the postrm script of jessie dblatex: the call of the texlive command
"mktexlsr" must only happen if the command actually is available.
To be on the safe side, the same change needs to be applied to the
postinst script of stretch dblatex. And in order to avoid this problem
when dist-upgrading from stretch to buster, the jessie postrm change
needs to be taken over to stretch dblatex.
However the jessie fix will avoid the observed error only if installed
*before* dist-upgrading to stretch. How to inform the dist-upgrading
users about this requirement?

Thus the question adressed to you: Are there plans for a final jessie
point release? If this point release would include a new, fixed dblatex
jessie version 0.3.5-3, users would install it as part of the
recommended dist-upgrade preparation.
Your advice about how to proceed is appreciated.
Regards, Andreas
